Title: Continuous milling longitudinal grooves in long bars - with machine for automatic feeding of bars past four milling cutters
IPC: B23C3/30
Filed: 1972-11-07
Abstract: The machine consists of a magazine, a feed unit, and rollers for driving the bars through the cutters, the novel feature being the magnetic selector for dropping one bar at a time into the machine. The bars are stored in a sloping rack above which teo electromagnets are mounted, the pointed base of the magnet core-rods acting as one half of the bar separator. The top of the core-rod is connected to a flexible cable terminating in a rod working in a guide cylinder; the bottom of this rod is located at a distance of one bar dis. from the bottom of the magnet core-rod. Thus when the magnet is operated, one rod rises and the other falls, thus allowing one bar to slide onto a conveyor belt. At the end of the belt to slide onto a conveyor belt. At the end of the belt, two drive-rollers pass the bars through four milling cutters located at 90 degrees to each other and mounted in two pairs at right-angles; thus, four grooves or profiles can be simultaneously machined in the bars.

Title: Ferro-fluidic sealing and spitting system for capping an inkjet printhead
Inventor: TAYLOR BRET K
IPC: B41J2/185
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: The ferro-fluidic capping system 100 (Fig.2) seals printhead nozzles 54 which eject ink droplets having either polar properties or non-polar properties. The system includes a support sled 102 engageable with the printhead, and a magnetic element 104 supported by the sled. A ferro-fluid 105 overlays the magnetic element to seal against the printhead nozzles when the support sled is engaged (Fig.3) with the printhead. Once capping has been completed, the sled is disengaged from the printhead and moved in the direction of arrow 88 such that the surface of the ferro-fluid is cleaned by a scraper 98 which removes any unwanted debris (e.g. dust, paper fibres, fabric fibres or hairs) from the fluid. The ferro-fluid has polar properties when the ink has non-polar properties, and non-polar properties when the ink has polar properties. The ferro-fluid may be used to receive ink spit (125,Fig.5) from the printhead, or when used with an adhesive tape (142,Fig.9), to protect an inkjet cartridge (50) during shipping. The capping system may be used with a drum printer (112,Fig.4).

Title: Fare collection and general payment system
Inventor: HALPERN JOHN WOLFGANG
IPC: G07B15/02
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: The fare collection and general payment system comprises an identifiable personal payment token device such as a card chip 27 capable of electronically storing a cash value reserve 34, a value reserve 35 debited to an account and a value reserve 36 credited to an account. The system has at least one public transport provider organised to service a demand for transport from a customer in terms of a coded starting point and a coded arrival point. These codes and other parameters are downloaded into the token device in return for a verified payment made from the token device to the transport provider. The token device can be used to purchase goods from a retailer. The system uses mobile phone transmission techniques in order to broadcast to said service or goods providers the identification data of those token devices which are in the process of using their debited or credited value reserve at the same time as their respective banking service provider has declared them invalid, and they should therefore use only their cash value reserve 34. The system may have contact free data transfer means, comprising antenna loops, between the token device and a transaction terminal of a service provider. In an alternative embodiment the system broadcasts random encryption keys to the service providers. In a further embodiment the system allows interruptions to a journey on public transport. The system allows a customer to emulate the advantage of travel by private car which promotes impulses of curiosity and discovery.

Title: Electro-mechanical control using an electro-active device
Inventor: PEARCE DAVID
IPC: H01L41/107
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: Various electro-mechanical devices, in particular a valve, a mechanical switch, a relay, a circuit breaker, a transformer, a limiter and an electrical meter, use an electro-active device 11 for operation. The electro-active device 11 comprises an electro-active structure in the form of a continuous electro-active member 12 curving in a helix around a minor axis 13 which is in itself curved for example in a helix around a major axis 14. The continuous member 12 has a bender construction of a plurality of layers 21 and 22 including at least one layer of electro-active material so that it bends, on activation, around the minor axis 13. Concomitantly with the bending, the electro-active structure twist around the minor axis. Concomitantly with that twisting, relative displacement of the ends 16 of the device 11 occurs due to the combination of the twisting around the minor axis 13 and the fact that the minor axis 13 is curved. The electro-active device 11 has the advantage of providing a relatively high displacement which allows its application in the electro-mechanical devices in question, whilst being relatively compact and lightweight as compared to electromagnetic solenoid arrangements which might otherwise be used.

Title: Chair tilt alarm
Inventor: WESTERMAN MARK JOHN
IPC: G08B21/04
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: An alarm comprising a hollow housing 11 which is adapted to be positioned on chair leg 1 by any suitable means such as a strap or clip. The ground engaging shaft 15 is connected to a spring biased electrically conductive piston 16 whilst the other end of the shaft extends through the housing such that it can reciprocate in and out of the housing. Whilst end 15A of shaft 15 remains on the ground with shaft 15 in the first position, no alarm sound is generated.
